Summer Sensations! (due May/June 2013)

[almosthere]

Morning ladies. I am not well at all-horrid cold/phlem, cough-woke up super early for a saturday but had no choice-although I did fall asleep early. Hope all are well =)

 

[No Doubt]

Generally I don't like when people comment wither, but because I'd been feeling fat lately it did make me feel better. She was really sweet about it.

Jess glad you are getting more food, but sucks about the aversions. Post a bump pic please!

Jess, part of the weirdness with all the questions and baby talk from my manager is that he's a guy. Might be easier if I had a female manager, but everyone on my team (coworkers to upper managers) are all guys. I don't think they've hired another female yet.

I do have one coworker that I talk to. He's actually having a baby in April. And his manager is having a baby in March. So I will be making it 3 months in a row for my team. I'm thinking of using that as a way to break the news to at least the coworker I talk about life outside of work to.

Jess - All that stuff is adorable. We've bought our crib so far on a black friday deal but everything else we're waiting until after the holidays. Plus we'll find out boy or girl Jan 2. I can't wait. I just want to buy a bunch of cute baby stuff now

I also feel for you with the sickness. Mine hasn't been anywhere close to yours but I've been sick pretty much every night since 9 weeks. Every night I get through without being sick is a blessing! Hopefully it continues to get better for you!

Jess - love the sound of your shopping!! I've been hit by the shopping bug too!! During the week I bought some colourful sleepsuits, 3 dungarees and a snow suit... But best of all, today I bought my buggy!! We got this one in the camel colour - https://tonykealys.com/new-out-n-about-single-nipper-360.html My friend has the same one and it is so light and easy to push and turn etc. Suitable from birth all the way up. They're quite expensive new though so I've been keeping an eye out for a secondhand one but they're like gold and impossible to find and today I finally found one for sale only 5 miles from my house! Got the buggy, rain cover and basket for €200, only 8 months old and they're immaculate (costs €385 in the shop) Delighted!

I seem to be the odd one out here but myself and my co-workers have been talking non-stop about my pregnancy and bump and I'm loving it!!! But I've been working in the same place for nearly 12 years and a lot of the girls are also really good friends by now so maybe that's the difference...

 

[No Doubt]

Hope you feel better almost!

I've had this persistent, dry cough and scratchy throat all day! No fun. Any ideas?

 

[raelynn]

Getting - I'm the same way at work. We all talk about baby stuff, even my boss but we're a small really close team so I feel pretty comfortable talking to them.

I had a really odd night tonight. Hubby and I went out to see Christmas lights and stopped for dinner afterwards but there was a wait for the restaurant. I don't know if it was just because it was really warm in the place but I got really lightheaded and my ears started ringing so hubby and I went and sat outside for a while until I felt better. Scarey! I think I might have passed out if we hadn't gone out. Apparently baby doesn't like curry either because I got sick once we got home. Ugh!

 

[GettingBroody]

I've had this persistent, dry cough and scratchy throat all day! No fun. Any ideas?

A few spoons of honey maybe? Or honey, lemon and hot water?

Rae - sorry you felt dizzy, sounds like your blood sugar got too low maybe? Also sorry you're being sick - hope it passes soon!!

 

[Jesss123]

Walker, for the sore throat I usually drink tea with honey & lemon - it works wonders! Hope it goes away soon!

Raelynn, it's possible that you would have passed out. By this point in pregnancy we have so much extra blood in us that it can make us lightheaded and faint. It's normal. That along with the fact that it was warm, it's no surprise.

Christie, my manager is also a man and oh.. he doesn't even want to hear a thing about the pregnancy - strange because I work in Daycare with babies under 6 months old But I do agree that it would be a little strange if a guy is that interested and keen!

Here's my bump picture, now though I can feel LO. I know exactly where she is, I'm not impressed with the weight loss I've had. Sorry for a terrible picture but I had to take it myself and I couldn't hold my hand still!

How is everyone today?

 

[almosthere]

sounds like you have kind iof what I have walker so sorry-this sickness (even though minor) mixed with second tri is just no fun-I feel like it has sucked all the energy out of me and its making my ms worse =(

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Sometimes I get nervous because I haven't had any symptoms really since 10 weeks. I had a scan at 11 weeks and doppler at 12 and everything is good, but I wish I could feel reassured. I can't wait until I feel movement!

Hope everyone is well - sorry some of you are sick - hoep you get well soon

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey there Miss A!! So happy to hear from you! I haven't had any symptoms either for pretty much this entire pregnancy!! I too have been nervous that something is wrong with me or baby...

So sorry some of our ladies aren't feeling all that great.

Nice bump Jess! Can't wait to feel movements! Looks like you got some great pieces to start!

Love the stroller Broody!

We told family yesterday. Everyone is super excited and in turn I have gotten a bit more excited about being PG.

 

[MissAnnabelle]

When is your next appointment snowflakes? I have my ob apt - with a doppler check on the 17th and then our gender scan is Jan 3rd.

How did it feel to tell everyone? I bet they are excited! I have been telling my family I want baby stuff for Christmas

 

[almosthere]

miss a-I also do not have as many symptoms as I used to-it is almost like symptoms are a confirmation all is going well so I completely understand how you feel! I have my doppler apt tuesday...soooo excited/nervous!!!

gender scan=a month from today, omgsh!!!!! =)

 

[MissAnnabelle]

I will look at my tummy and try to decide if it is getting bigger or not. Plus I haven't gained any weight in the past couple of weeks...lol I know what you mean - I am nervous/excited for my doppler appointment too. Do you have any hunches as to what you are having? Me and DH both think girl and have had a lot of guesses that go that way, but the Chinese gender prediction calendar says boy, so who knows?

 

[almosthere]

haha our chinese gender prediction said girl I am pretty sure, and I have had 2 negative/weird dreams about being pregnant with a girl and when I fell pregnant I had this odd attraction to little girl clothes lol (I always wanted boy first so I was like wait why do I all of a sudden want a girl now?!) so I guess my intuition says girl. But then our US tech predicted boy but was not certain, and I feel like baby looks like a mini me of dh, so I am totally unsure so it will be quite a surprise either way I suppose!

But we say since we want a boy first time around we will prob have a girl lol-we will be pleased either way!

 

[snowflakes120]

Woo Hoo Almost for 1 month til scan!

MissA - My next appt is 12/20. It is my gender scan and a regular appt after. I think we are having a boy and the Chinese gender chart says boy too. I guess we'll see soon!!

 

[NatalieBelle]

I have had lots of dreams of the baby, and I believe that my sweetie will be a girl. Plus my mother "gran" is already saying how she can't wait to see Penelope. Since all of my predictions is on girl as well. 5 more weeks and we will see if the dreams and guesses were right or wrong.

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Wow - I am interested to see how accurate all of our intuitions are! We should keep a count of it when everyone finds out to see. I guess it is like playing at the best casino ever because we all have a 50% chance of being right
